we really do have a two tiered system of justice in this country. The wealthy can usually pretty much get away with murder and all sorts of other crimes.

but, sometimes the powerful are brought to account.

I can only hope that these legal professionals will get the job done. It isn’t going to be anywhere near easy. They are all going to be getting death threats because that is the way things work now.

I hope as this progresses that the crazies the issue those death threats will also find themselves in jail very quickly.

This may be the last gasp for a country that has always prided itself on being a country of law— but in reality those laws rarely applied to the wealthy and powerful.

Even if trump is found guilty, he'll probably just have to pay some kind of fine. Others in his orbit, however, might go down.
